Amarillo College - Palo Duro Yearbook (Amarillo, TX)

administration Any way you look at it, Palo Duro Canyon is an awesome work of nature. Its dramatic quality is due mainly, however, to its location and its brilliant coloring. Even in rugged country it would be spectacular. Slashed 1120 feet deep through a flat plateau, it produces an overpowering ef- fect upon the beholder, especially if he is seeing it for the first time; the Texas gorge is recogniza- ble at first glance as a production in full techni- color.

A. M. MEYER, PRESIDENT B. A., M. A., Indiana University Ph. D., George Peabody College To the Class of 1951: The years roll on with great rapidity. Your class is the first class to graduate in the second half of the twentieth century. What promise this half centiuy holds is a matter for much speculation. It is sufficient for you and other college men and women to remember that even though the times are troublous there is a way out for each individual. This way, it seems to me, is to be found by each of us rededicating ourselves to the tasks of our present jobs and by putting not only our hands but our hearts into cur daily work. We can find much joy in our work if we cast about daily for opportunities for service to humanity as well as to ourselves. Humanity with all its tears can be solaced with the altruism of sincere men and women of good will. May you who have recently sojourned at Amarillo College join with others in a crusade for finding a way out through a life of useful service! Sincerely yours. . - ' -
